The grapple-tackle on Sam by Willie Manu was one of the best I've ever seen, but he didn't get sin-binned for it.

Luke Robinson was on Radio Leeds at the weekend describing the wrestling techniques employed by the Wigan players. He was particularly concerned by a technique called ankle locks which he said was very painful. He went on to say that they specifically target ankles, knees and elbows.

This was off that thread add another to that list



The dwarf has only been back 2 mins and spouts crap any chance he gets

Why not just play tick and pass and have done wi it, i've yet to see anyone injured by Wigans tackling, they was hurt damn sight more in the old days when owt above grass was allowed.

Eddie will soil himself if a Wigan player gets binned for any of these offences on Friday

I smell a Heathrington.

I wonder if he tried to sell that story to the press as well, only this time no-one was buying?

Luke Robinson, eh? A regular man of integrity.

You'd think we have The Rock and Hulk Hogan playing in our back row from the sounds of some these moaners!
Wigan have a defensive tactic to put an extra man into the tackle to control the ruck and slow the PTB down.
It works effectively, apart from Lima's chicken wing at MM I can't remember any other occasion this year when undue pressure has been put on an opposition player more so than every team does!
Either adopt the tactic yourselves or accept that your defense won't be as good as Wigan's!

As per the text I sent you yesterday!
"Apparently"

it was a very interesting meeting but seemed like there were a few agendas on the cards!

As you're in the know, were all SL chairs there?

Come on spill the beans, you obviously heard something of interest.

The thing about being "in the know" is that you publicise it a lot, without publicising anything.

Did you get my e-mail?
Twitchy bums?

So it appears all these tackle tactics are now to be considered as foul play. Players committing this type of foul play are to be sin binned.

Has anyone told them that players can't be sin binned for foul play?
They are making it up as they bloody well go along!
Beggars belief it really does!

So how many rules are they changing now then? We must deduce from this, that from now on players can be sin binned for foul play. Is it all aspects of foul play or the ones just listed from their recent meeting?

In the Hull game two players should have been sin binned for fighting, they weren't and it caused a riot leading to a player being sent off. That was a complete and utter shambles.
So where do we go with this? Every team down to 11 or 12 by 15 mins into the game?

As I replied in my text to Jukesays last night. Will they be as keen on the head high tackle or will that be just a penalty?

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Not every team

They can for late hits on a kicker, sounds like they're just expanding the list.

I presume all clubs / coaches have been given detailed interpretation of this?

No, just the referees.
They were discussing the implementation of these directives put forward by the RFL after "Discussions" that some Chairs of the Super League clubs had with the RFL.

What was the discussion? Wigan are good and we don't like it?

That's the nub of the issue. What we've probably had is some, not all, of the Chairs on the whinge and Red Hall enters appeasement (aka bending over backwards while handing them the Vaseline) mode.

I agree with the Owd Rogue, I can imagine Mr & Mrs G. Hetherington were at the forefront.

Ah well, just so long as the rules are applied CONSISTENTLY across ALL teams.

Now now Andy, Just because I didn't think it right and that I didnt think it was my place to tell everyone on a public forum that Amos Roberts wife had gone into labour and so wouldn't be playing at MM/Cardiff.
Obviously if people tell you things in confidence you have to be carefull what you can and can't say publically?

I let a number of people I know (Some who post on here some who don't) what I had been sent and told them it would be announced today.

With regards to some of the stuff I was told I can let you know that all the following will be "Automatic Sin-Bins".

Grapple
Chicken Wing
Ninja(? I dont know what that is either)
Crusher
& 1 more type of tackle that I can't remember the name of (Sorry).

Obviously I would only be Hypothicising if I said that that's they way it came across in the meeting?

Just admit it Jukesy. Tha; knows naut!!!

I share your frustration but it is worth pointing out that although I agree and it was also my understanding you couldn't be sin-binned for Foul play the just 1 thing, Why do players get sin binned for fighting? Isn't that Foul play?

I'm with you on the "They're just making it up as they go along" theory. From what I've been told that's exactly what they do!
